SAS concept
• URANS: unphysical single mode
unsteady behaviour
• LES: too expensive
• DES:
– 1st industrial model of high Re
flows with LES content
– Explicit mix of RANS & LES →→→→grid sensitivity
• SAS: provides URANS with LES
content in unsteady regions

SAS concept. Turbulence scales
• Two scales required for statistical description
• Two equations

• k-ω model
• One local scale: S
• 2nd scale:
– Shear layer thickness via diffusion: L = κκκκ·y , L = δδδδ
– Too dissipative to resolve the energy cascade
– Homogeneous turbulence,
frozen LES velocity field:
No diffusion →→→→ Contradiction:

SAS concept. SAS and DES
• DES enforces LES-behaviour via explicit grid influence
• SAS detects resolved structures and adjusts accordingly
DES: RANS LES based on ∆∆∆∆
SAS: RANS “LES” based on LvK

SAS concept definition
• SAS: 2nd flow scale in the source terms
typically via 2nd velocity derivative
• Requirements:
– Proper RANS performance in stable
flow region
– Break-up of large unsteady structures
into a turbulent spectrum
– Proper energy dissipation at small
scale (high wave number damping)
No grid & time step dependence
Based on the grid
